"Krist Novoselic is still best known as the bass player in one of the most important and riveting bands of the 90's, Nirvana. But not for long. Oh, he'll always be remembered as part of Nirvana but after Nirvana was no more, Krist was just getting started. A principled and outspokenly progressive grassroots activist, Krist has been making himself known throughout Washington as a man who could make a real difference in government. Aside from playing the bass really well, Krist also pilots his own Cessna 182 Skylane jet really well. And, long a supporter of the same values as People For the American Way, Krist has offered to take a high bidder for a plane ride on his plane! In fact, he'll pick you up at a West Coast (Washington, Oregon, California) airport of your choice and fly you to a restaurant in a city of his choice, take you out to lunch and then fly you home again. He won't be teaching you how to fly but he will be talking to you about... well whatever you want to talk to a former member of Nirvana and a future Governor of Washington about! And you can bring a friend if you want to. Now, there are all kinds of restrictions on this prize that the government and our lawyers require. Easy ones are stuff like this can only happen during daylight hours and only in good weather (blue skies). But here's the stuff from the lawyers: "PLEASE NOTE THAT BEFORE participating in this activity, the successful bidder will be required to sign a "VOLUNTARY RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT" in which s/he will agree, among other things, to voluntarily assume the risk of any and all injury, illness, death, damage, loss, or harm that may in any way result from, or arise in connection with, the bidder's participation in the activity." If that didn't scare the bejesus out of you, start bidding. This is gonna be a hot one. And just to leave it on a high note, Krist sent us a message he wanted me to pass along: "I am happy to share the wonders of aviation and remind the winners to be careful during the most dangerous phase of the flight ? the drive to and from the airport!!!" Krist is making this great opportunity available to benefit People For the American Way, a non-profit non-partisan political organization committed to promoting political awareness, civic participation and providing legislators with the support they need to counter the agenda of the extreme right and protect against encroachments upon our freedoms and civil rights.
